I bet if you remove those cases from the results, the numbers go down.

Just about any statistical analysis I have read about is full of smoke & mirrors in an effort to push the writers' agenda. Very rarely do I see something that is truly objective and thorough.
Exactly, you can bend data to make it say anything you want it to say, certianly the data was biased by the writer based on his/her agenda.

Kind of like that famous brady campaign statistic about how guns in homes were several times more likely to be used on a family member than on a burgler... but the statistic included suicides... LOL
